In spite of his embarrassment, Fang Zhuzi said shamelessly, “It was just a slip of the tongue. The two of us discovered it together.”
Liu Yuan looked at them with a dark expression and said irritably, “Alright, I don’t want a share. Quickly pack up and come back with me. We’re leaving.”
Fang Zhuzi pursed his lips and said disdainfully, “Do you know what we found?” As he spoke, he moved aside and pointed at a plant on the ground. “This is ginseng. And from the looks of it, it’s at least this old. If we dig this up, Dazhuang and I will be able to eat our fill and wear warm clothes even if we don’t work for the rest of our lives.”
Liu Yuan looked at the plant on the ground in surprise. “This is ginseng? How do you know?”
Liu Dazhuang touched his head in embarrassment as he said, “My father has been in poor health for the past two years. When I went to the pharmacy to buy ginseng roots for him, I saw someone selling freshly dug ginseng. I think this one looks very similar. But we don’t know how to dig it out and are afraid of damaging it. I heard from the shopkeeper that if we dig up damaged ginseng, the value will be reduced by at least half.” That was why they had delayed for so long. They really didn’t know where to start.
At this moment, Liu Yuan also hesitated. This was the legendary ginseng. “Why don’t we call Ah Ling over? Since she often comes into the mountains, she might know how to go about doing it.”
“No way.” Fang Zhuzi refused decisively and said, “If we let her do it, will we still have a share?”
“Cousin, what are you talking about? Is Ah Ling that kind of person?”
Fang Zhuzi spat and said, “She made it clear that she doesn’t get along with me, her uncle. If we really call her over, even if we don’t give her a share, she might even deliberately damage the ginseng while digging it out. When that time comes, it’d be no use even if we cry.”
Liu Dazhuang disagreed with a frown. “Ah Ling isn’t that kind of person. Brother Zhuzi, you’re thinking too much.” He really regretted coming out to relieve himself with Fang Zhuzi. If it were anyone else, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
Liu Yuan waved his hand impatiently and said, “Alright, alright. You can decide what to do. But there’s not much time left. Eldest Cousin is urging us to leave…”
Mu Yangling was lying on the grass with her eyes closed to rest, her ears close to the grass as she listened to the various movements in the mountains. Under the warm sunlight, she was about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard an explosion, causing her to jump up in fright.
